The Wyoming Cowboys finished last season at 9-4 and were led by a likely NFL Quarterback in Josh Allen. Last month, Allen decided to remain at school for 2017 and he will now be part of the Ducks Defensive Headache next season. Allen’s stats are nothing to turn away from.

He threw for over 3200 yards as a Starter to go with 28 touchdowns. He did throw 15 interceptions and averaged over 200 yards per game and 8 yards per attempt. The Cowboys Rushing Attack is also strong.

Brian Hill ran for 1800 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2016 and in his career has over 4200 yards on the ground. Oregon will be facing two of the top NFL Draft picks of 2018 who are looking to make a name for themselves throughout next season. Wyoming finished 2016 losing in the Poinsettia Bowl, but the 2017 Challenge is solid.

Aside from facing Oregon Football, they will also see Iowa in Non-Conference play.
